CHARLES Griffith, who allegedly shot and killed a man, was, on Tuesday, remanded to prison by Chief magistrate Ann McLennan during an appearance at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.

He was not required to plead to the indictable charge which states that he, on Tuesday, June 22, 2021, at Apaiqua Landing, Middle Mazaruni River, committed the act of murder on Shane Blake with the use of a gun.

It is alleged that on the day in question, at about 05:20 hours, Griffith went to an abandoned building at Apaiqua Landing where Blake stayed. He entered Blake’s room while being armed with a gun and ordered him to put on his clothing.

Blake, in response, chopped Griffith to his left shoulder. Griffith subsequently shot Blake once to his left side upper chest which resulted in his death.

Griffith made good his escape but he was later arrested.

The matter was adjourned until Wednesday, July 7, 2021.
